I think that's was the magma well's output that someone made its way into your adventurer's vicinity. That should not be hard to fix but maybe at the cost of the wells turning off if you retire a fort.

[Artwr]

I got a High Treasurer and a liaison this summer, in a brand new world (want to test adventurer mode without using magma wells). Both opened up the window for trade agreement, asking what I wanted and so on. Went on the civ page, got four trade agreements, two for import, two for exports.
Is this intended, or something with the "using fortresses for a while" thing?

I kinda missed the heat up the forges because I ended up using it a lot :p

Hi ya!

I'm having some technical difficulties. I don't know if this is user error, in terms of installation, a bug or what, however;

My game is crashing with this mod. With the starter pack stuff installed, the game lasts a few minutes before it dies spontaneously. Without the starter pack stuff, and just fresh with the mod win version, it crashes at embark (basically after you prepare, and press E to go, then any key after that to go to your location(the one with the long ass message about arriving), it will crash on key press).   

Things i've tried:

>>Taking the winversion, putting it into a seperate folder, then 1 folder up placing the LNP stuff there, adjusting some settings to what i favour and launching the game --- Results in crash after 1 to 2 min.
>>Patching a fresh version (the newest) of LNP with the mods patch version --- Crashes after a min or 2.
>>Loading the winversion without LNP etc --- crashes on embark as stated before.

I have tired a few different setting in LNP as well as things like the performance improvements etc, both off and on but the results are the same.

Naturally i get that, with this little of information its unlikely that a reason for this can be found as is, but if you can think of anything i can check or info you may need that i might be missing, please feel free to ask.

I really love this mod, and have played it intensively all the way back when i was playing with it on Masterwork (it would still crash but back then as well, but i could be playing for hours and it would be fine, so pretty much standard DF behaviour), and i would really love to try it with the newest version of DF. If i can get this to work, i have plans on a massive tower build, make from obsidian. I plan for it to be the (in games)worlds largest library ever created, with Succubi being the custodians of wisdom and lust!

Anyhow, idk if this issue is a conflict with my hardware, or some erroneous bug somewhere with something. Just to note, other than what comes with LNP, no other mods have been used with this one.


Edit: Ok, tested marterwork and i have the same issue (this is a new PC compared to the one i used masterwork on 2 years ago). This is most likely not the mods fault, but something with my PC and DF in general? Odd though since vanilla runs fine.


Edit, of the edit + a lot of apologising... : So after a day or 2 since i posted this, i did some extra digging, and it seems that the issue is high likely to be this>> http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/mantisbt/view.php?id=11549 << truth be told i didnt know this bug tracking site existed untill i spent half my day desperatly trying to find out if this issue was in fact a seperate this or i'd gone messed up somewhere,,,

If what i read is correct, and what im getting is basically this, then its also highly likely that its DF completely and nothing to do with this mod... if so, i apologize, since this fact could very well render this entire post reply irrelevant... Oh well... if you do however know a work around regardless, im all ears here's to looking forward to more developments of the great mod!

[Artwr]

I get anxious everytime I open this thread and see nothing new, I really like this mod. Is Boltgun awaiting the steam release, or got busy with other things in life?

[Artwr]

I got a world with Ogres available at embarks, for 1 point each.
Since I use LNP, the labormanager allowed me to give them labors. They could be put into squads, but not as leaders.
They were also slow as hell.
Anyone else got one of those? I think It may have something to do with the civ being dead (got a demon prince right at the start).

Hey, sorry for the late response in my error, life got carried away for me there for a while. I haven't been able to replicate my trader caravan crash, but I got a new bug. Not game breaking as the last, but slightly annoying. A lot of my succubi don't have names for some reason. And my fortress doesn't have a name either. It's making finding certain workers confusing, but can be worked around by giving them nicknames. Sadly, the names I can only think of are immersion breaking. Looking in my error log, I got this:

I'm not quite sure what's going on here. I looked in the succubus language file, and I'm not seeing any characters that would be unfriendly with linux computers since that was my first thought. I'll post my save in case you need to take a look at it.

//edit: now it's just crashing after five years in. I'm not sure exactly what's going on, but here's an updated save file. https://www.dropbox.com/s/u53owmswjnri2xj/region1.rar?dl=0
//editedit: Comparing languages, it just looks like the language needs an update since more has been added to languages. I'm gonna have them speak dwarfish for now until that's fixed to see if that helps with the no names in a new game.
//editedit: another weird thing--I can't seem to get the succubi to wear layered glass gauntlets. But, I can get them to wear other layered glass armor oddly enough.

So my understanding is that you can put frog demons into the military, but I don't seem to be able to. I can't assign them to squads with therapist or from the in-game unit menu or the military menu. Is there some other requirement I am missing?

Edit: Okay, after some more fooling around, it turns out that you can conscript frogdemons you summon, but not ones that come with migrants. Still not sure one the ones born at the fort, all too young still.

(...) it turns out that you can conscript frogdemons you summon, but not ones that come with migrants. Still not sure one the ones born at the fort, all too young still.

I just used DFHack's Rejuvenate -force into some newborn frog friplets, all three now are labor editable and conscriptable. Most probably, descendants of embark and summoned frogs are completely under our control.
Soon I will make a test without DFhack.

Well... Its been a while.

Boltgun if your out there and are able to read this I hope you are well and that life is alright. We miss you and your mod immensely. Now that the steam version is out, this mod would be a great addition to the workshop. I don't know if your able to do so, or what vision you still might have for this. If we can entice you to come back that would be great, but if life dose not allow for such, can we at least have a word from you to the community, allowing a fork or some matter of succubi related mod to be developed with your blessing?

I hope this finds you well, and that you have a good holiday season.

For those who are reading this, please lend me your support for this mod and its creator, and show the love it deserves.

Kind regards to you all!

Wow that's really nice, thank you so much. Thid means a lot to me. I'm sorry for my silence, I'm not the same as I was when I released the mod nearly ten years ago (10 years!). I left to pursue other activities, if any, my brain time is more limited now. Suffice to say, it wasn't nice of me to leave through the back door.

I just got back into DF with the Steam release and was on the fence on updating the mod. Steam does not feel welcoming at all to be honest. But then, Putnam's interview got me motivated. I tried updating the raws to the last version and not only I got everything works but crashes that plagued the older versions are gone. That was enough to give me a modding fever. However my vision changed.

First, content must be safe for work. It already was, but a cleanup is in order. The aim is to be offer something akin to Dungeon Keeper, where you manage all kind of creatures and powers.

Secondly, keep the game as stable and clear as possible, because it's demotivating to sort through complaints only to realize everyone is playing on a janky Masterwork build. This means the mod must work without Dfhack, or make it an optional addon. Unfortunately, the signature feature of the mod, corruption, might get deleted. Each DF update made it as hard as possible to fix it.

Making sprites is going to take me a long time, but a version for classic ASCII will be here shortly.

Transformative/pet generating emissions are still possible if some of this is to still be possible with/without DFhack support.

For instance, you can transform your long term residents/petitioners into other races, and apply a syndrome interaction to generate animals on a long cooldown. (Not to mention, if set up correctly a 'Infernum' type civ can emerge from from deep-risen events as a minion race to custom clowns, using local level 5 fauna/flora, as seen in porting 47.05 succubi dungeon upwards where they do this successfully.)

I was wondering wtf I had a civ without positions besides leader. Then I realized that Succubi acted out of the box as a clown car, and they're playable. Oh and Dark Fortress civs do not crash worldgen either. That's why I love DF so much.

I don't have a lot of Dfhack features:
- Altar that add upgrades through syndromes (doable with boiling rocks, so likely to stay)
- Magma well (maybe you can generate magma in an interaction and leave it in a loop)
- Summoning Circle (summon interactions exist, but pushing the unit to perform is another story)
- Den of corruption (applying transform is easy, switching civ with a script too but making them non hostile is a whole can of worms)

One last factor is how Dfhack is distributed. If it's installed through the workshop, I can simply add a dependency. Otherwise I wish to hide these workshop if Dfhack is missing, so players don't get confused. They add fun features but the game runs fine without.

Either way, Steam DF is exciting.

[TheKerberos]

I just saw this mod and new on DF, hope we get it on steam I really want to play something like "demons" so bad...

[Boltgun]

Here's an update ! -> https://dffd.bay12games.com/file.php?id=16387

This is an alpha release with placeholder graphics. The point is to let you give it a try and give me feedback. I'm looking for typos, pain points (were you lost figuring out how to play?) and also if interactions with other civs are working (Are goblin caravans moving in ? Are dwarves/humans/elves laying sieges? If playing as dwarves, how did the succubi interact with you?).

All the non Dfhack features as been updated to the latest version and should behave as expected. Dfhack buildings (Summoning, Corruption, Powers) need some more attention.

Some old content has been cut off to keep things simple, I don't remember why fire demons are supposed to cut ice blocks anyway and I got doubts on the effectiveness of obsidian armor or putting fire spatters on weapons.

Enjoy !
